A New Day

Life is ever changing as we all know. Yesterday was my first Fathers Day and it was great to be with the family, play horseshoes and just hang out and enjoy that which is family.

This morning while playing with my son before going to work, I couldnt help but look into his beautiful eyes as he smile up at me and feel as though today was the first day of the rest of my life. This new life will be shaped by a selfless love, for I can no long make choice in my life without thinking of how it will affect him. Each time I pick him up and hold him to my chest my capacity to love is stretched. I do not know what life will bring nor do I fear it, but I do know that today is a new day... may I use it well.

Fires of Friendship

The most effective method of extinguishing a campfire is to first knock it down and separate the burning logs before dumping water on them. Once separated from one another, if a log continues to hold a flame, it will slowly burn itself out. However, if these logs are again united in a cluster, they can rekindle one another, and conditions are optimal for small flames to grow once more. It is now possible for a brilliant fire to warm your soul as no single log can.

Fires may require your attention to maintain, but I'd rather sit around a campfire than a smoldering smoky log any day.
